In my experience, the feeling of not having slept enough doesn’t vanish, no matter how long you sleep. Personal hypothesis: When you wake up, the sleeping hormones are still present in your body and make you not want to get up, whether you still need to sleep or not.
For me, there is a “yessss let’s go!” moment that will happen eventually that let’s me know I’ve truly slept enough, but I truly do think we’re all exhausted in a way we’re not evolved to properly deal with yet. Maybe 15-17 hours, while excessive, is what we all collectively need to start the repairing process. Who knows.
I get to that point if I had like 4+ days off work, or if things all fall into place (no one needs me, allergies weren’t triggered, the weather didn’t make all my joints hurt…) It seems to happen around 9 hours of sleep.
It doesn’t happen often, but I’ll say my brain just seems to work so much better when this happens. It does make me wish that things could be slow enough that this is typical, but I suppose I’m better off than I have been so I can’t really complain.
